But good to hear the current policy is pretty lax... at the LAX lounge
Hopeful to try this out next weekend.
Edit: Oh did you mean access to the business lounge and not the Qantas first?

The member you quoted was likely admitted to the oneworld Business lounge, not the Qantas First lounge.

Currently in the business lounge. Flying J to JFK but the check in agent still wanted a flight number for an international flight. I gave her my flight, but it's tomorrow. She didn't seem to care.

In a few months I will fly LAX-BDL first class on AA (5hr 20min) and am a Plat. Should I be able to access the oneworld business lounge?
I am connecting from CX business class, but have about a 24 hour layover.
